Dickens's Craftsmanship of Plot and Character in Bleak House
1,118 words, approx. 4 pages
The structure of Bleak House is a cycle. Dickens has built a framework of brooding fog, and embedded all his characters and events into the framework. The story begins as well as ends in that foggy atmosphere. With the fog as a running through thread and the skillfully connected scenes as the beads, Bleak House is presented to readers like a tied up necklace, an exquisite production of Dickens's great craftsmanship.
